Storm was about to go and look for the discarded prey when the older cat turned and told her to follow him. The molly looked around her, unsure what to do. She'd never met this cat before, and suddenly he was asking her to follow him! Sure, he seemed nice, but you could never judge a cat from the first meeting! Then again, this was why she had come out on the walk anyway! To explore! Storm never really had a set down or territory, unlike many other loners. She enjoyed going from place to place, exploring new things! Maybe this was just what she was looking for! "O-okay!" Making up her mind, Storm followed Paulie through the forest, wondering where they were going. This time, she made sure to look carefully at the ground while she walked. She didn't want to trip again after what had just happened. |
Paulie
The tom stayed quiet, not trying to break the silence in fear he'd startle the molly some more. He kept on through the trees until they broke out of the dim and dappled forest. Leaving swapped short trodden grass and moss for taller, tough grass and sunshine leading up to the barn. The tom made his way carefully around some small holes he'd ran into the first few days, making it to the barn quite swiftly. He trotted easily into the barn through the blown-off barn door. He smiled and finally spoke to the other cat, adressing the house rules. "Make yourself at home, if you're staying a while replace any prey you eat and if short-term don't worry 'bout it, careful of some of the loftier wood bars up there, they're quite unstable." The last phrase he gestured with his tail to the hayloft. He nearly fell into his nest of hay and moss, stretching out his joints. "Been out nearly all day, I don't seem to be ageing too well." He sighed, settling in with a smile. "Well, anything you wanna do, do it. I don't mind talkin' either."
